Biomedical sciences and Biostatistics are interrelated. This talk will discuss the fundamental relationship between Biomedicine and statistics- in particular the strengths, limitations and common misconceptions related to scientific inferences. The presentation will illustrate how Euler’s simple but fundamental equation Description: eiπ+ 1 = 0 impacts on virtually all aspects of science.​ ​
